Those are COOL. I wonder if something similar is what the State of California here has in mind for the "High Speed Rail" route they want to build?
I once saw someone paint a TGV model into a Silver and Orange Sacramento Northern scheme since it was an interurban back in the day. Pretty neat actually.

Very impressive.
I envy you because I'll never be able to run such nice TGVs on my 23" X 36" oval layout with 9" 3/4 radius curves.

Careful! You'll poke an eye out with those things! :mrgreen:
Sharp looking trains, man.
I'd like to see those babies running.

Jacques,
Kato makes their stuff to run on fairly tight curves, my SD70m's run without a problem on 9 3/4, I think Herc has run SD90's on 9 3/4.
Plus I bet they launch off of tight curves really nice at really high speeds .

Mike,
Nice stuff, I'm sure it was worth the wait. Do you and your son still have the website?? I forgot the address.

Oooo...those are slick!

Those are beautiful! Wow, they really look good. If they'd run on 9.75 inch curves - I'd seriously consider getting them too just 'cuz they look so good. (And yes....Kato makes even the SD90's run on 9.75 curves so maybe there's a slim chance these passenger trains would too. Granted, there's a pronounced overhang that's not prototypical, but oh well, I can live with it.)

damn those are dead sexy!
I want some for my own layout (how unprototypical would that be? Euro high speeds traveling in the mountains alongside Canadian steamers...)
